Blaine mani"
"No, sir; never. I worked against
Blaine and will do so again-oh, you
know never was Blaine man"
= 1"Wen, fun aside, who is your choice
for candidGte?"
81 can't say. Sherman, Gresham or
Allison would suit me, and l believe
With either Of them we could win the
race; but any good, sound Republican
will do me and suit the country"
"But you can't stomach Blaine?"

srYou would rather vote for Cleveland
than Blaine, would You not?"
CHOW, you can't caUch me; 1 won't say
that"
you'll admit you're 6 mugwump, how
ever"
'If being opposed to Blaine r anyone
else who cannot be elected and should
not be elected constitutes q mugWump,
l am one; otherwise l I'm straight Re-

Don't you think Mr.. Quincy will work
the rabbit foot On you sgsin, as be did at
Waco, and carry the delegation to the
national convention in his pocket"
"NGG much. Mr.. CuneV is not as ON
oipotent IS he formerly was or has been
reputed, and that triumph Of his OF Waco
was not 50 much CT & triumph as il has
been reported. lock upon il as a defeat
aud I'u tell you why: He drew the race
line too strongly and put all the white
men aud large minority Of the cOlored
against him, and they have not forgotten
it. You know how these white men do
about coming to convention with
pocketful Of proxies aud
"You mean white R=publicans-Dem0-
Gratis don't do that wsy!"
"Well, my experience in Democratic
conventions is somewhat limited, but we
will say in Republican cOnv6ntions-YOu
know now these white men do when they
set their heads together anQ undertake 20
accomplish anything
'But there were white men in Waco Snd
Fort Worth and Mr. Cuney seemed to
handle them easily. He would have had
the chicken pie at all events if the R9pub-
licans had been giving the feast"
| "That is what he thought and what @
good many thought, but that was all
| fixed. We had Quincy shelved. He Was
| expecting to get the Galveston custom
| house. Colonel Tracy and the Arthur
| element had it eli arranged to put him out
of the road. He was going to be sent off
as consul, and the place was already Sc
l,cted. You see everything does not
come to the surface, end things go differ
ent from public expectation sometimes"
"You viii doubtless have a lively time
at next convention. Where do you think
| 1t will be held?"
81 am anxious to have it here in Fort
| Worth. 1t is the convention center, and
1 believe al Republicans favor it. We
are well treated and TIE GAZETTE gives
full and fair report Of our proceedings
! Why, THE GAZETTE made more col0red
orators when the convention was being
held here than l ever expected to see
growing in Texas at one time"
"That's right, Nelson, bring your
convention to the convention center and
you will be well treated
awe know that, and if you can publish
pictures of 'the Man from Mstsgorda'
and his partner, you will Emake your
f rtune.h
"Wen, who do you favor for second
place on the tiCket?"
81 don't know. I would like Foraker,
but the country might not He carried

any means and We must have ) man TO

"Rut," urged the reporter, "F1rsker

the ground swell"
"Yes, sir; he helped US, snd you news

l admire that man. He is outspoken,
fearless and honest. OF course his
opinions are not popular because
they are not pruden+ just

but If you were to get down deep enough
you would find the true feelings aud

him and repudiating his utterances,
